I realize they haven't committed to '%' as a final choice for the placeholder, but I'm wondering if there might be any ambiguous situations with the modulo operator. Perhaps the places where an operator can be used are sufficiently distinct from the places a placeholder might be used for that not to be a problem, but it bugs me a little that this is not addressed.


I believe # is available as a symbol and I doesn't conflict with existing operators
